Description

Journalist Beth Gardiner returns to talk to Court Accountability Action’s Lisa Graves about an underreported impact of Trump choosing to attack Iran: how the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has impacted plastic supply chains—and how fossil fuel companies have profited off of it. Beth and Lisa talk about how this war continue to benefit wealthy interests in an underhand way at the expense of people’s livelihoods, and how our dependence on plastic makes us vulnerable in the same way as our dependence on fossil fuels has.

You think the Covid disruptions were bad? If you need to buy something, do it now.

Prescription drugs are very vulnerable to supply train disruptions. The hurricane that devastated Puerto Rico created a handful of serious drug shortages. Even sterile saline for IV use.
